- Lesions suitable for radiation targeting must meet all of the following criteria:
- each target must be > 4 cc in volume by standard imaging techniques, such as CT scan, MRI, or radiograph
- for each lesion, partial treatment of a tumour mass is permitted, but the treatment volume cannot be less than the equivalent of a 2cm sphere (4cc) and the two targets cannot be part of the same contiguous mass
- must be outside of previously irradiated fields 12. Adequate organ and marrow function
Who cannot join
- Subjects who cannot meet all the radiation planning constraints will not be eligible for this trial.
- Participation in another clinical study with an investigational agent during the last 4 weeks.

- History of pneumonitis requiring treatment with steroids, or has a history of interstitial lung disease.
- Patients who have contraindications to receiving radiation therapy, such as: Rheumatoid Arthritis, connective tissue disorders, Lupus, scleroderma, CREST syndrome, Crohn's syndrome, Ulcerative colitis, or other conditions identified by the Radiation Oncologist as unsuitable for radiation therapy.
- Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of the study drug, with the exception of intra-nasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses, which must not exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid.

About this study
Official title: Phase I (Safety Assessment) of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) With Focal Sensitizing Radiotherapy in Platinum Resistant Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Epithelial Carcinoma
It is postulated that focal sensitizing radiotherapy may potentiate the effectiveness of durvalumab. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of 2 different dose levels of focal sensitizing radiation therapy given with durvalumab.
Read the detailed description
Durvalumab is a PDL-1 inhibitor, part of class of agents (called checkpoint inhibitors) designed to increase the ability of the immune system to recognize and work to eliminate cancers. Checkpoint inhibitors have been studied in recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal and Fallopian cancers, and on their own show a low level of activity.
Radiation therapy is usually used in women with recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal and Fallopian cancers to palliate symptoms related to progressive disease. However, radiation is know to modify the cancer immune environment and to release tumour antigens. These actions may potentiate the function of immune checkpoint inhibitors.
- Being tested
- Focal radiotherapy, Durvalumab
- Medical subject headings
- Ovarian Neoplasms, Fallopian Tube Neoplasms
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Focal radiotherapyRadiation
Focal sensitizing radiotherapy will be given at a starting dose level of 24 Gray (6 Gy X 4 fractions), and may be escalated to 32 Gy (8Gy X4 fractions).
DurvalumabDrug
Also called MEDI 4736
Durvalumab 1500 mg IV every 28 days
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Durvalumab and focal radiotherapy | Experimental | Durvalumab 1500 mg IV every 28 days, and 2 fractions of focal sensitizing radiation with cycles 1 and 2 of treatment. Receives: Radiation: Focal radiotherapy; Drug: Durvalumab |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Determine the maximum tolerated dose of durvalumab combined with focal irradiation for use in recurrent ovarian cancer
The maximum tolerated dose will be defined by dose-limiting toxicities and serious adverse events.
Measured: First 4 weeks of therapy
Secondary outcomes (3)
Objective response rate
Objective Response rate as evaluated by RECIST (v 1.1) criteria 2) Progression free survival 3) Overall survival
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
CA-125 response rate
Using GCIG CA-125 response criteria
Measured: From date of study enrollment until confirmed CA-125 progression, through study completion, an average of 1 year
Immune-related response rate
Using Immune-related response criteria
Measured: From date of study enrollment until confirmed immune-related disease progression, through study completion, an average of one1year
